I said I would. And sometime before it eventually broke down on me, I did.

Drumrollllllll please!

... Okay! Let’s just do this.

Official time was 17 point whatever seconds. SEVENTEEN. FREAKING. SECONDS. You could never have so much fun going so goddamn slow in anything else. Then again, it tried to kill me three times soooooooo all’s well that ends well!

And now we all know why it blew chunks in the end

Because I tried to merge onto the interstate?

Because you obviously pushed it well beyond its capabilities ;)

That gerbil has earned his retirement.

All things considered, that’s not that bad. My 88 S10 did a 16.8, and that thing had the 4.3 in it that produced way more HP than the Lunchbox. I wish I would have kept that 17.6 1/4 mile slip for the lolz.

12 seconds for my 4 cyl yj I think. Also this clip is a YouTube masterpiece. 9/10 only gripe is lack of crustacean claws.

That’s not too bad. I’m 15 even at my elevation, maybe 13 at Sea level

I know what your elbow looks like. Now I can spot you in a crowd. 17 seconds is better than I expected. I don’t know if I’ve ever been over 60 in a 4wd tercel.

Not bad given the condition of the car. Probably wasn’t much faster when new.

The Tempo my mom had back in the day probably wasn’t much faster. The fintail will pull it in 11-12 though, I think...hot rod.

The first car I ever drove was my mother’s 1995 E300 diesel. Naught to sixty in 12.something on a good day. This takes the cake.
